Abstract: Asarum contracta and A. rhombiformis are closely related species and both are in need of protection. Floral differences between A. contracta and A. rhombiformis have been inconclusive in separating them as distinct taxa and there is no published ecological or molecular analysis of A. contracta and A. rhombiformis. For conservation purposes, more data about species boundaries are needed.
